säilytyspäivämäärineen

Säilytyspäivämäärineen is a Finnish term that translates to "with its expiration date" or "with its best-before date". It is commonly used in relation to food products and other perishable goods to indicate the date up to which the product is expected to retain its optimal quality. While the term often refers to the best-before date, it can also encompass the use-by date, depending on the context and the specific regulations for the product.

In Finland, like in many other countries, labeling products with expiration or best-before dates is a legal requirement for ensuring consumer safety and providing information about product quality. The best-before date indicates that the product should be consumed before this date to ensure it is at its best quality. After this date, the quality may decline, but the product might still be safe to consume if stored properly and showing no signs of spoilage.

Conversely, a use-by date is generally applied to more perishable items and indicates the date by which the product should be consumed for safety reasons. Consuming a product after its use-by date can pose health risks. The phrase "säilytyspäivämäärineen" encompasses both these concepts, emphasizing the importance of checking and adhering to these dates for safe and quality consumption.
